Got referred by past coworkers who now work at the company. The interview was set up and handled really fast. They talked about my past work experience, what kind of projects I'm interested in, and if I could do the job. They actually made me an offer right there, pending the usual background and drug checks.

Behavioral Technical

The interview process involved a formal attire requirement and one formal interview session. However, the Engineering Manager was approachable, making it easy to shift into a more relaxed conversation. The discussion covered my engineering expertise and general preferences. The manager seemed interested in my broader life outlook, not solely focused on assessing my technical knowledge for the role within the Navigation Department of the Flight Design and Dynamics Division of Mission Operations Directorate for Shuttle Operations.
